The nanowm thinks that it knows best where to put the new windows, but
you can teach it a lesson.
Check demos/nanowm/clients.c starting at line 108. This is the
algorithm that determines where the file should be. Note that if you
set the
window properties to GR_WM_PROPS_NOAUTOMOVE when you create the window
in your app, the window manager will use those settings. Otherwise, it
will try to tile the windows. You can either replace this algorithm,
or just use GR_WM_PROPS_NOAUTOMOVE (which I recommend, otherwise you
would end up having different copies of nanowm for each platform, which
pretty much violates the "same code on every processor" philosophy of
Microwindows).
Good luck with your PIMS.
Happy hacking,
Jordan
